Parliament of Owls is Lauren Sheldon, Ariana Dilibero and Meg Paradise. All three have amazing portfolios on their own, but these couple of examples hint at some great collaborative work to come. I’m excited to see what they do next.

A bright and warm illustration on an icy cold day: Story Sisters by Roman Klonek.

I am amazed by Moomin Valley, a fantastical interior design project by Maria Yasko.

If anyone who epitomizes the modern day Renaissance man, I believe Will Staehle may be it. He has his hands in so many interesting projects, I have no idea when he finds time to sleep. From The Dollar Dreadful and the Silhouette Masterpiece Theater to Lonewolfblacksheep and the intriguing, yet-to-be-launched, $100,000 ideas, it’s pretty easy to lose track of time exploring his projects.


Will, who is also an ADC Young Guns 7 winner, also has an exhibition going on at the Type Director’s Club here in New York. It will be open for the next few weeks until January 29th.

I am absolutely loving this identity for The Chop Shop by Austin-based PTARMARK/PTMK.

I always look forward to the typographic “best of” posts each year, so I thought I’d do a rundown of my favorites. I don’t claim to be a type expert, so I wouldn’t call this an official “best of” list; this is simply a list of the top 10 typefaces from 2009 that I would love to add to my library.










What are some of your favorites?
